public final class ASCIIFoldingFilter
extends TokenFilter

This class converts alphabetic, numeric, and symbolic Unicode characters which are not in the first 127 ASCII characters (the "Basic Latin" Unicode block) into their ASCII equivalents, if one exists. Characters from the following Unicode blocks are converted; however, only those characters with reasonable ASCII alternatives are converted:

See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin_characters_in_Unicode For example, 'à' will be replaced by 'a'.

ASCIIFoldingFilter

public ASCIIFoldingFilter(TokenStream input)
Method Detail

incrementToken

public boolean incrementToken()
                       throws IOException
Specified by:
incrementToken in class TokenStream
Throws:
IOException

foldToASCII

public void foldToASCII(char[] input,
                        int length)
Converts characters above ASCII to their ASCII equivalents. For example, accents are removed from accented characters.

Parameters:
input - The string to fold
length - The number of characters in the input string

foldToASCII

public static final int foldToASCII(char[] input,
                                    int inputPos,
                                    char[] output,
                                    int outputPos,
                                    int length)
Converts characters above ASCII to their ASCII equivalents. For example, accents are removed from accented characters.

Parameters:
input - The characters to fold
inputPos - Index of the first character to fold
output - The result of the folding. Should be of size >= length * 4.
outputPos - Index of output where to put the result of the folding
length - The number of characters to fold
Returns:
length of output
